This phrase emphasizes the importance of following God's specific commands for offerings. The sacrificial system was central to Israelite worship and served as a means of atonement and fellowship with God. Each offering had to be prepared according to divine instructions, symbolizing obedience and reverence. This meticulous preparation foreshadows the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law and the prophets (<a href="/matthew/5-17.htm">Matthew 5:17</a>).<p><b>no matter how many</b><br>This phrase underscores the principle of consistency and equality in worship. Whether the offering was large or small, the preparation was to be the same, reflecting God's impartiality and the equal value of each person's worship. This can be connected to the New Testament teaching that God shows no favoritism (<a href="/romans/2-11.htm">Romans 2:11</a>) and that all believers are equal in Christ (<a href="/galatians/3-28.htm">Galatians 3:28</a>). The uniformity in preparation also points to the unchanging nature of God's requirements and the need for faithfulness in all circumstances.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who received the laws and instructions from God to pass on to the people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who were given specific laws and instructions to follow as they journeyed to the Promised Land.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/w/wilderness.htm">Wilderness</a></b><br>The setting where the Israelites received these laws, representing a time of testing and reliance on God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/o/offerings.htm">Offerings</a></b><br>The context of this verse involves instructions for offerings, which were a central part of Israelite worship and obedience to God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The place where offerings were made, symbolizing God's presence among His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god's_instructions.htm">Obedience to God's Instructions</a></b><br>The verse emphasizes the importance of following God's instructions precisely, reflecting a heart of obedience and reverence.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/consistency_in_worship.htm">Consistency in Worship</a></b><br>The phrase "no matter how many" suggests that our worship and offerings to God should be consistent, regardless of circumstances or quantity.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_offerings.htm">Symbolism of Offerings</a></b><br>Offerings in the Old Testament symbolize dedication and thanksgiving to God, pointing forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_and_worship.htm">Community and Worship</a></b><br>The collective nature of the instructions highlights the importance of community in worship, as the Israelites were to follow these guidelines together.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/f/faithfulness_in_small_things.htm">Faithfulness in Small Things</a></b><br>The detailed nature of the instructions reminds us to be faithful in small things, as they reflect our overall faithfulness to God.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_numbers_15.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Numbers 15</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_death_for_gathering_wood_on_sabbath.htm">Numbers 15:32-36: Why is gathering wood on the Sabbath punished by death, and how does this align with a just moral system today?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_do_num._18_15-19_and_deut._differ.htm">Why does Numbers 18:15-19 differ in certain details from parallel instructions in Deuteronomy regarding firstborn offerings, and how can these discrepancies be reconciled?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_numbers_1_46's_600,000_men_credible.htm">How credible is the claim in Numbers 1:46 that over 600,000 fighting-age men--implying a total population of more than two million--could have gathered in the Sinai Desert?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_spoils_distribution_fit_human_worth.htm">Numbers 31:28-30: How does distributing people as spoils align with the broader biblical theme of human worth?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/numbers/15.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 12.</span> -
